Haven't been able to access this site for a week+ and fear that it has been abandoned or highjacked, or is being taken down. Going to anythingbutipod.com leads to a sign-in page for something called "Zealot," a "Hobby Forum: Card Models, RC Cars, Trains & Railroads."

The only way I was able to access the site now was by doing a search engine search on a user's name here along with the site's name, clicking on that, and getting the user's page here.

The forum info. shows just a single posting for the past week+, apart from my own.

If you or anyone, especially in the site's management, sees this, HELP?!?!?! I have a similar inquiry thread at the Anything Goes sub-forum at the Sandisk forums, forums.sandisk.com (username there: Miikerman).

This site has been a wonderful site and community. If gone, will be very sad--at the very least, would be nice if it were around to consult. Not many places like it around anymore.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy. You are one of the main reasons I stick around ABi - the place is better for your participation, now even more so in an official capacity. Though 1 request please: I hope you won't have to slap me down more often when I "derail" threads... lol.
